Dumbness Cured by Hypnotism.

Hypnotisrn has been employed with con.
siderable success in Paris for some time
past by Charcot and others in the treat
ment of hysterical disorders, but a case
Just related by NJ. Clovis Hughes IN The
France is perhaps the most successful ex'
ample of its application SO far recorded.
A young lady of 20 was attacked six
months ago with a nervous ailment which
completely deprived her of the use Of her
voice. Electricity was tried, and with n
certain amount Of success at first, but IL
lost its effect after a time and it was a
length abandoned in despair.
As a last esource her friends applied 10
DIR. Berillon, the hypnotic specialist, and
after q consultation with Charcot he de-
cided to undertake the case. After having
brought OF the mesmeric trance by the
usual means he suggested 10 the pa
tent to say ~ am 20H as soon as she
awoSe. A minute afterward she opened
her eyes, and al once uttered the words
without the least trace Of an effort; but
there her power Of articulation ended.
The next day the suggestion was that she
should converse with the doctor, and this
she did with ease, though she could not
exchange a single remark with any one
else present. Finally, at the third seance,
DIR. Berillon ordered her TO speak when
ever and with whomsoever she pleased
thenceforward. Since that time she has
been able 10 use her tongue freely, and her
voice is as clear and distinct as il was
before the attack.-St. James Gazette.

A Drove Of Cows Tobogganinx.

A rare and amusing incident occurred
on Saturday last. The Messrs. Everhardt
own a large farm on the road leading from
Newport TO New Bloomfield. Ferry
county, and a short distance from the
latter place. They keep a large number
of cattle and on the day in question the
bovines were roaming about in one Of
the fields in which there are a number Of
high hills, and these latter were covered
with ice which rendered them as slippery
as glass. Along the top Of one Of these
hills the cattle were moving along slowly
when one Of the cows slipped aud fell, but
toboggan like, never stopped until she
landed at the bottom. Then another and
another followed suit until five or six had
performed a similar feat. IL remained
for the last Of the cows to perform the
growing feat. She sat down on her hind
legs and erect on her fore feet and started
down the incline. All went well until
near the bottom Of the hill, when her
'front.' feet caught in the ice, causing her 10

make a gymnast turn green with envy.
The cattle seemed TO enjoy the impromptu
slide and when they brought up al the

nothing unusual, Altogether il was an
amusing sight. Altoona Tribune.

New York Twenty-Five Years Ago.

Twenty-Five years ago every American
city had gangs OF rowdies whose best de-
light II wa to assault each other or
strangers. IL was almost rare in those
times, especially among our nat We popu-
1ation, TO find laboring men and mechanics
who knew how TO behave 20 women with
any gallantry. The general area Of our con-
yersation thirty years ago was hardly above
the common instincts Of ignorance. Now
you are apt 10 get more common n out
OF the artisan class than out OF the wealthy
few. IL is noticeable here that II you ride
on the Sixth Avenue Elevated road, and

stared at; but II you ride on the Ninth
avenue road, where the poor create the
manners, the best dressed woman In the
land will find complete respect. -"Gath"

The Prince and Princess Of Wales and
their eldest son were in a box at the
Princess theatre last week, and on an in
timation that the prince would be present
the house was crowded. The future queen
and the two coming kings Of Great Britain
looked very simple and homelike, the
princess in a light, gauzy dress, showing
to great advantage her perfectly preserved
figure, and the prince in an ordinary even
ing dress, with an extraordinary gold
double watch chain swung across his
ample vest. They all three watched the
play intently. The prince has a habit Of
leaning forward on the edge Of the box, so
that everybody in the audience has a full
view Of his head, which is growing quite
bald. Both he and Prince Albert Victor
wore lavender kid gloves, and both went
out 10 take a drink at the end Of the first
act. Prince Albert Victor Is a sallow
looking youth. The princess was us young
and fresh looking as the big bunch OF
flowers that lay beside her on the edge Of
the box,-The Argonaut.

The large number Of medical students

few Henry Clay cigars.

DUNG KARNS, EX-MILLIONAIRE.
Found by an Old Friend Carrying n
Hod, but Very Happy.
From the Pittsburg Times. ]

A few years ago Duncan S. Harms, or
Dune Harms, to give him the name by
which he was known all over the oil
regions, was perhaps the richest man in
Butler county. Early in the seventies
he was car driver, in Allegheny City,
and yet by 1876 he possessed tracts of
the best oil land in Butler county, and had
u city and railroad named after him.
Domestic infelicity hastencd his ruin,
and finally he disappeared from Butler
heard of in Pennsylvania.
While Mr.. Kirk was travelling in
Colorado he happened to read in the
little paper of the country town in which
he was staying that new saloon was to
be opened in the neighboring town of
Florence. Mr.. Kirk is not, as q rule,
much interested in saloon openings, but
the announcement of this one riveted
his attention because the name of the
saloon keeper was that of his old friend,
Dune Harms. The initials were the
same, and as he had nothing bet
ter to do that day he resolved to
drive over to Florence and see who
this D. S. Harms might be. He
reached Florence an hour or two after.
making this resolution, and inquired for
the saloon. He was directed to new
building of very modest proportions. 1t
was not completed, and man at the
very moment Mr.. Kirk got up to it was
carrying a hodful of bricks up a lad
der. Mr. Kirk stood and watched the
bricks sandwiched with mortar into a
chimney stack, and when the mason
came down for more material Mr.. Kirk
called to him. The face which was
turned to him was Enthusiastically that of
the Butler county millionaire. Dune
Harms also recognized Mr.. Kirk instan
and they shook hands heart
lily.
Then they sat down on the edge of the
mortar bed, and talked of old times.
Mr.. Kirk produced some stogies, and
then Mr.. Harms apologized because
he couldn't set up anything better than
lemonade. But they smoked and sip
ped lemonade, and talked till nearly
supdown. Mr.. Karns had married
again, and said he was as happy as
king. He looked right well, better by
far, so Mr.. Kirk thought, than he did
when he could sign q check good for mil
lion. In fact, he himself admitted that
humble circumstances agreed with him
perfectly, and left no room for regrets
for the wealth he had lost.
